If people haven't noticed, there are 2 new buttons on radio that operate the menu system, almost like short cuts.. You can just see them in the picture above underneath the sticks to the side of the trims.
I know it has 30 model memory built-in and uses an SD card that slots in underneath the battery cover this gives unlimited models and for firmware updating.

On the back there is a standard trainer port and a place to connect in digital servos for programming.

Reason: Hit a 2 rather then a 3

the spec says its 30 model memory.
SD card is 4GB to 32GB

andd yeah those short cut menu buttons are cool. they're designed to help you navigate through the User menu quickly while flying. Don;t have to use the click wheel to change mixes I still won't be trying that with a plane in the air, I prefer to land change settigns and take off again but its nice to have that sort of function available

Ran into that last night - I wanted to update the software on an 8FG, but I only had 8GB and 16GB cards around, have to go shopping for a tiny little 2GB card. I might have to end up ordering one online somewhere.. most stores don't carry any so small any more.

I wonder wht Futaba are going to do about the 8FG's antiquated card reader?

Not quite sure why you guys are quoting me? I hit a 2 instead of a 3 in number of built-in model I.e 20 when I should have typed 30! I never said anything about SD card size
It what happens sometimes when you post from a phone
